Shackers have certainly enjoyed flamethrowers in countless video games throughout history. From Dead Space, to Wolfenstein, to Doom, and Call of Duty, gamers have been setting all sorts of stuff on fire. Now we can take home our own real life The Boring Company Flamethrower for the low low price of $500. Elon might be turning into a supervillain.

The Boring Company website also touts the product as "Guaranteed to liven up any party!" and "World's safest flamethrower!" They are also offering a fire extinguisher sold separately (for exorbitant amounts of money). Flamethrowers will start shipping this Spring.
